Delivery of property after mutual agreement: practical checklist
After mutual agreement, the property must be delivered in good condition. Use a delivery report to prevent disputes. This documents the condition at entry and exit, including meter readings and defects.
Steps for smooth delivery
Conduct a joint inspection on the final date. Check walls, floors, appliances, and garden. Note wear and tear versus damage. Refund the security deposit after agreement.
Resolving disputes
If parties disagree, engage an independent inspector. The law requires reasonable delivery; normal wear and tear is at the landlord's expense.
Follow this checklist for a conflict-free transfer and quick security deposit refund.
